Judge Clarke said that be imposed the fine

his own responsibility.
Brunswick Advertiser: Fl. r. Symons OF
Brunswick, says he has shipped so far about
| Il 600 bales this season, and actually re
fused between Oct l6 and Nov. ), 10000
bales that were offered him without the
| asking for which he could not secure either
! steamers or storage. This brings to mind
| that arrangements must positively be
made before another season to handle
| cotton. Dock and wharf room, with
proper sheds, viii be an absolute ne
cessity, and by the way, would be
paying investment. In round figures there
have been shipped through this port this
season already sc, 900 bales and 10000 more
will no doubt be shipped. Add these to the
amounts refused and we have 5000 that
might have been shipped. There is no rea-
son why, with proper facilities, 100000
bales should not be shipped another winter.
Wharfage on that amount would be 81, 600
wouldn't that be a good yield on the invest

poultry troubled Eliza very much, and one
day, in a fit of evaporation, she caught a
duck that was particularly troublesome,
wrung off its head and threw it back into
her neighbor's yard Jane Mcdonald, the
owner of the offending poultry, was very
wroth, and among other remarks made III
the heat of passion was 'seven years is

neighbours better condition. This last re-

being of fearful import and now that she

under the front door step or in among the

sensation in that household, and in fear and

At Americas Wednesday forenoon Sol.
Usrey, of Sumter county, went into L. B.
BOsworth's grocery store and handed to
John Walters, a clerk, two rolls of money
done up i'll writing paper, remarklng that
there was $40, and he wanted it placed i'll
the safe until evening" Mr.. Walters handed
over the rolls of money to Mr.. BOsworth
who placed them in his money-drawer in
the safe, together with some SG5 of his
own money, locking the drawer. After
dinner Mr.. Bosworth went into
the post office after his mail,
and finding notice of a registered letter in
his box, he waited few moments to get
that, when he went back to his store.
While he was absent Mr.. Usrey had come
in after his money, when Mr.. Walters told
him he was not in condition to receive it.
When Mr. Bosworth came back he went to
his safe to deposit the money he had received
in the registered letter, and found that the
money drawer was unlocked. and on open
ing it found that it was empty, except
few uuimportant papers. In addition to the
money taken was a check for So and an
order for $50. Above the money drawer i'll
a compartment. were two cigar boxes con
tanning silver, but they were not molested
Mr.. Bosworth has no idea how the drawer
was opened, but is satisfied that it was done
in his absence while at the post Office. Mr..
Usrey was frantic when he learned of his
loss and attempted TO kill himself, but was
prevented. 1t is supposed that the robbery
was the work of some raScals following the
circus, as attempts were made on the safes
and money drawers of several other bust
ness houses.
